  "summary": "The United States has imposed 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods after trade talks between the two countries failed. The new duties, which came into effect on Saturday, cover around $20 billion worth of Canadian products, representing just over 5% of Canada's US exports.\n\nThe tariffs have increased tensions between US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. According to the Dawn, Trudeau said he had suspended trade negotiations and Canada would retaliate \"dollar for dollar\" on the new tariffs.\n\nThe breakdown in trade talks may complicate broader negotiations to renew the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. The US and Canada recorded nearly $900 billion in trade in goods and services last year.",
